Substitute teacher

is a reflection of poor and uninspiring teachers that did not show me that science could be fun and touches on multiple elements of the world. Science was always portrayed as just one thing such as, experiments and playing with chemicals. It was never expressed as something that was all around…

ratio of students to teachers growing every year. In 1900 there were 250,000 students in the public school system and by 1918 that number had grown to 400,000. During the great depression excessive borrowing to pay for necessary changes to schools and teachers salaries lead to fiscal problems. For the first three decades of the century the school board tried to keep up with the new reforming systems of other American cities while dealing with disputes between the Chicago Teachers Federation…

how to be a successful teacher, but I also learned a lot about myself, and I made many friends. I needed this course this semester. I was starting to feel like I was missing out on friendships in college, but after this class I know that I have many friends and I made three close friends. This class was also important to me because I was starting to question if I was wasting my time becoming a teacher. Many individuals in my life have told me that I am too smart to be a teacher, and I was…

Self-rule and independence may seem quite similar, or even the same, at first glance; however, I believe them to be two different things. With the support of Descartes’ Discourse on Method, it is evident that Descartes also agrees that self-rule and independence are quite different: one implies ignorance, while the other implies a knowledge and understanding of principles. I believe that Descartes agrees with the argument that independence implies ignorance and self-rule is knowing certain…

Being a special education teacher was never my dream job but it did catch my eye about three years ago while working at the Fischler School of Education at Nova Southeastern University then I knew nothing about what I needed to do to became a teacher and I thought it would have been a breeze but that was not all the case. Obtaining a degree was a given but I did not know that I needed fulfill practicums that would require me to actually act as a teacher in a classroom setting. At the time this…

was speechless. I could not even argue with him. In the next week my teacher told us in the class meeting that she got an order from the administrators that they would add one more class to our schedule called “self study”,…

is very economically stable and financially able to be responsible when it comes to their management of money. So why are we questioning their investments in private education? Their economic outcome shows hard work, it proves that their teachers are great teachers, and it shows that all students grow to have a successful career that helps them provide for their families. So why would anyone be unhappy in any of these outcomes? Respect. Since your social status determines the amount of respect…

With that being said, the purpose of education also is enlarged by the way we identify it. Many would agree that the educational system we currently have recognizes education as something that is measurable with standardized testing, grades, and teacher evaluations. However, education is more than just being able to memorize a great deal of content and write it down. The complications with school education need to be recognized and reevaluated in schools principally because it is the truly the…

be when we grew up. I remember my teacher asking me after my presentation why I wanted to be an educator, and I simply shrugged and said I had a feeling it was something I should do. There was no rhyme or reason to why I had felt this need, only a simple thought towards my future that most children have. This thought stayed in the back of my mind for years to come, and whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be, I gave the same answer, “I want to be a teacher.” The only questions that…

century ago, what aspects do you see are relevant in contemporary schooling? Why? I believe that there are some aspects that I see relevant still up to this day in schooling. Up to this day no matter our age, we are still preparing for our future by teachers/ family/ or mentors telling us what to do. I remember back in middle school/ high school we were told to always do our best and use everything we can to ensure that we have to be ready for the future. I agree with Dewey when he explains…
